Greetings friends. Today I told you I would be sharing different card samples using the new Ribbon Weave Cover a Card background:
In the Season's Greetings card, I stamped the Weave Background in Caramel ink to create a patterned strip for the card. I then stamped the Mistletoe Branch several times and added my sentiment, both stamped in black Versafine ink. I colored the scene with Zig Clean Color Brush markers and a waterbrush and then popped up the panel with foam tape.
Items for Card 1:
Mistletoe Branch E13717
Seasons Greetings C13680
For the second card, I used several Cover a Card Backgrounds to create my own patterned paper and once again added a panel with the new Ribbon Weave background. To create the patterned paper, I started with white cardstock and stamped the Metal CAC with Tan ink and then added the Dancing Leaves CAC with Caramel ink. To finish the card, I added the cat image (Coffee Companion E21135) that was also colored with Zig markers.
Items for Card 2:
Metal CAC Background CC205
Coffee Companion E21135
For the last card, I made a Halloween card. The Ribbon Weave background was stamped in black ink onto a dark grey card to create a pattern for the entire front of the card. All that was left was to add my sentiment banner and my pumpkin in a jar that were colored with Zig markers and a waterbrush.
Items for Card 3:
Halloween Pumpkins D19848
Jarkin (Pumpkin in Jar) D19847
I hope you were inspired to try this background!

ReplyDeleteWhew… so much inspiration from this hop! Beautiful and fun creations!!!!
ReplyDeleteWonderful variety of cards using this background stamp.
ReplyDeleteGreat cards! Love how versatile this CAC can be! When I look at just the stamp, I have to admit I don't see the pattern it was named for... I see wicker. I grew up in Florida where everyone had wicker furniture in their sunrooms or on their porches, and once I saw that it was hard to 'unsee' that pattern, but despite that it still works for a multitude of card designs. Its like a perfect neutral background texture!
ReplyDeleteGreat cards, awesome coloring. Love that Jarkin.
